BIRMINGHAM, England—Engineers at Aston University here have developed an AI-based method to train robots to perform assembly tasks.

LAUSANNE, Switzerland—Engineers at the Ecole Polytechnique Fédérale de Lausanne have developed a new framework that makes it possible to teach robots new skills.

MOUNTAIN VIEW, CA—Google has introduced an updated robotics AI model designed to improve how robots interpret and act in real-world environments, a development that could expand automation into more complex industrial tasks over time.

BIRMINGHAM, Mich. — As National Robotics Week highlights advances in automation, one trend is becoming clear: robotics is no longer confined to pilot projects or isolated applications. It is being deployed across production lines to solve specific manufacturing challenges. In many cases, the shift is happening at the process level.

BIRMINGHAM, Mich. — As National Robotics Week highlights the rapid evolution of automation, manufacturers are beginning to deploy a new generation of intelligent robotic systems capable of adapting to real-world production environments. Robotics is no longer defined by motion alone. The next phase of automation is being driven by intelligence — systems that can perceive, decide and adapt in real time on the factory floor.

FREMONT, Calif. — Manufacturers have long automated repetitive, high-volume production tasks, but many assembly operations that require dexterity and adaptability have remained difficult to automate. eBots Robotics, a Silicon Valley-based company, is among those focusing on these applications. The company has developed dual-arm robotic systems designed to perform assembly work that traditionally required skilled human operators, particularly in industries such as electronics, semiconductors, medical devices and electric vehicles.

MUNICH, Germany — Misplaced glasses on the kitchen counter or a phone left somewhere in the living room could soon be found by a robot. Researchers at the Technical University of Munich have developed a system that locates lost objects by combining 3D vision with language-based artificial intelligence.

Munich — AGIBOT, the company ranked No. 1 globally in humanoid robot shipments, unveiled its full robot portfolio, signaling its strategic expansion into the German and European markets. The launch highlighted AGIBOT’s advanced R&D, system-level robotics capabilities and the critical role of real-world training in scaling industrial deployment.

FRANKFURT — Artificial intelligence is moving from a supporting role in robotics to a core driver of new factory automation capabilities, the International Federation of Robotics said in a new position paper released Tuesday, as AI begins its transition into new physical forms.
